I’m an international student. Can I still apply?

What kind of internships do you offer?

Not the kind that will have you grabbing coffee all summer! Here at Blizzard we offer a fun-filled, 12-week internship program every summer between the months of May-September. Internship opportunities vary from year to year, but often include game development such as: 3D art, animation, programming, design, production, and quality assurance. We also offer internships in business support such as finance, business intelligence, and community. Oh, and did we mention it’s paid?

Where are your internships located? Will you provide housing?

We offer internships in our Irvine, CA and Austin, TX offices. But if you’re not in our neck of the woods, don’t despair! We provide housing for non-local students.

I’m interested in several roles. Can I apply to multiple opportunities?

Not only is this allowed, it is strongly recommended. Feel free to apply to each role that sparks your interest. Increase your chances by tailoring your application for each position you apply to.

I’m interested in development (design, production, programing, etc.)? How can I stand out?

Let your passion for development shine! We are interested in students who have been using their educational opportunities and networks to develop creative content related to the internship role they’re applying to. Be sure to include your personal projects, involvement in student group projects, and/or any other creative ways you have demonstrated your ability to produce quality content.

I’m more interested in the business side. What skills do you look for?

For business operations interns, we look for individuals with a strong understanding and a passion for the discipline, and the ability to apply it in a fast-paced entertainment industry. We’re looking for students who are highly organized, possess excellent communication skills, and have strong business acumen.

What college grade levels do you typically hire?

Historically, the majority of our interns have been juniors in college; however, we would never turn away a talented freshman or sophomore. We also welcome Masters and PhD students into the program.

"l was 14 when World of Warcraft came out and it became something I was 110% passionate about. This encouraged me to consider Blizzard as not just 'games as a hobby' but 'games as a career'. I felt that because of that consistent passion, why not try to turn it into a career where I’m here every day, talking about it, working with the people who create these really cool things for players who feel the same way I did when I was 14. You can do it too, don’t give up!”

Lily Gardner, 2018 Program Manager Intern, Battle.net

“My favorite thing about interning at Blizzard is how meaningful the work is. You’ll never find yourself doing stereotypical intern tasks like fetching coffee or running to get donuts; I was immediately valued and counted on as a member of the team. One of the first things I was given was writing media releases for Wrecking Ball’s launch in Overwatch. It’s an incredible feeling doing work read by so many players, especially something I wrote as an intern so early on.”

James Morton, 2018 Public Relations Intern, Global Publishing

“One of my first assignments was FX work on the endorsement system, and it was really cool to see things I worked on go quickly into the live game. The pacing at which I got assigments was just perfect. Simpler things at first where I could experiment and get familiar with the tools, then projects got progressively more difficult but built upon the things I had been learning. It was a really nice balance of not feeling like I was drowning in work too difficult for me or feeling like I was doing something that wasn’t important or impactful to the game. I love the trust, creative power and control I was given over my work.”
